ABSTRACT
Organic production systems are dependent on biological systems both above and below ground. Pest, disease, weed, etc. control conserves natural biological processes in order to balance agroecological conditions. Organic apple cultivation frequently results in lower crop yields as compared to traditional production practices owing to lack of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. As a result, in an attempt to eliminate the production gap, organic apple production is always seeking new technologies to include in crop management. The primary aim of organic production is to maintain the natural quality of the product (appearance and taste qualities) as consumers are more health-conscious along with the elimination of pest and disease risks. Furthermore, organic apple production remains very low in most countries which limits the profitability of organically grown apples. In this literature, we mention several approaches involved in organic apple production to fetch the premium price in the market.
